Michael Crotty Bicentennial Park

Stretching from the Halifax River to the Atlantic Ocean, this 37-acre park north of Ormond Beach is loaded with amenities. Beach goers may park across the street from the ocean on the park's east side to enjoy the sand and surf. Amenities include hiking, baseball field, basketball court, fishing dock, soccer field, picnic area, pickleball courts, tennis courts and restrooms. A large pavilion offers plenty of shaded picnic tables. A four-acre dog park includes separate areas for large and small dogs, watering stations, benches and shade trees. Hikers looking to get back to nature may take a jaunt along one of the park’s nature trails and boardwalks. Winding through the scrub habitat, gopher tortoises and raccoons call this area home. The western terminus of the trail carries walkers to the Riv-Ocean Drive fishing dock on the Halifax River. Open daily sunrise to sunset.
